R.5.284KD.5.275 Is haldyngeR.5.284:
Only LMF agree with R's Is (but F's verb occurs in a completely rewritten
line). The other copies show be(n). R's haldynge is
unique; the other B copies all show holde(n) as do
many P manuscripts in the C tradition. However, the X family of C agrees with R's lection. at þe heyȝ dome to helpe þe
restitueR.5.284:
With reference to beta, R's lection here appears at first glance to involve a unique
omission. Beta reads þe to restitue. However, the
supposition of omission collapses when we notice that the nearly unanimous C reading at this point is identical to R's (F rewrites the line completely).
